Econ - impact of price level and inflation on money demand impact, question, demand, opposite, linked

whew1110

Hi all

I have a question on demand for nominal money

I read that :
when price level goes up, then demand for nom money goes up. I need more money to buy goods
when inflation rate goes up, then nominal int rate goes up, demand for nom money goes down. I prefer not to hold money

but for me price level and inflation are linked (if not the same) so how can they have opposite effect on demand for money

little confused here...

tks for your help
